The Forrest team is pleased to announce the release of Apache Forrest 0.5. The release is available at http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/xml/forrest/
Blurb ----- Forrest (http://xml.apache.org/forrest/) is an XML standards-oriented project documentation framework built on Apache Cocoon, providing XSLT stylesheets and schemas, images and other resources. Forrest uses these to render the XML source content into a website via command-line, robot (see http://forrestbot.cocoondev.org), or a dynamic web application. Status ------ Significant progress has been made in the seven months since Forrest 0.4. New features include: * 70%-300% faster, thanks to the new command-line interface in Cocoon 2.1.1 * Ability to generate a single PDF/HTML of the entire site * New flexible tab/menu system [1] * Numerous skin improvements, including Javascript-controlled menus, handling of <abstract> and <version>, configurable mini-toc depth, menu tooltips, and a new pure CSS variant of standard skin. * DTD improvements (v11 replaced with v12, and v20 in development) * Rudimentary Docbook support * Wiki support [2] * Improved PDF output Under the hood, the monolithic sitemap has been divided into functional categories and logical layers [3], with the aim of making Forrest sites easier to maintain, and new features easier to add.
